Are cable recommendations worth anything?

They talk and argue and insult because they cannot bear the truth: that there are indeed differences, and that learning to hear them will allow you to build a better more satisfying music system.

This they find is infinitely frustrating. Because, think about it. Imagine. Here they are spending thousands of dollars, not to mention investing who knows how many hours, all for something they cannot even begin to hear. Their system sucks, and everyone knows it- except for them! Because they haven’t learned to listen.

And since they cannot listen they don’t even have any idea how to make it better. It must feel like the kid who wants in the worst way to join the game, but insists we change all the rules just for him. Its no longer about how it sounds, its about whatever impossible to prove proof these misfits insist upon. Its the most epic fail of all time. Of course they are frustrated, angry, butt hurt beyond imagining.

Oh well.

Listen with what? 😂😂. How can possibly a good power cord make their $50 China DAC sound like a SOTA DAC? 

Some seem to have a great deal of trouble, accepting their own limitation*.               Then, it appears; "Misery loves company" becomes an agenda            (*a variable)

As you have also noticed, it does NOT make any sense and you will not hear any difference. A $50 cable is good enuf as long as properly shielded. Any similar priced phono cable will do just as well.

millercarbon is from another planet who can hear even negative frequencies. He can hear the collision of the air molecules depending on the temperature gradient. So, nobody should equate their hearing to his and feel inferior :-)

For most other humans, my first paragraph applies.

In my opinion:

In a true double blind test, nobody on this site - or any other - could identify cables based on the way a system “sounds”.

Save your $$$
